Canon G9 shows everything upside-down and backwards on LCD

Hi, I have a Canon T2i Rebel. When i put the camera in "M" (totally manual), the image doesnt appear in the LCD screen. Everything else works fine in the monitor, but it is as if the lens where covered with the cap. But it´s not, and acutally all the other modes work fine. Only in the manual mode the image doesnt show, and the pictures also appear completely black. The menu shows sometimes something as if the exposure were less than -2, but even though i change the values for everything hig

That's great news, so let's write it up as a solution so that other people who search on here find the right information!So it appears that the Canon T2i when in manual mode (M) remembers whatever settings you play with, and that these se ...

I turned my digital camera on and the LCD screen is showing the image upside down and backwards.

The auto rotate sensor is going bad. Look in your camera's menus for a selection to turn autorotate off. Actually going inside the camera and fixing the sensor is possible for those with some electronics background, but really not worth the risk of ...

The Display button manually turns the LCD display on or off to save batteries. If you accidentally had turned the LCD off, It should only take one press of the button to turn it back on and leave it that way. As such, it's not you but the camera. ...

The LCD Monitor of my Canon PowerShot A95 shows purple, white, and black horizontal lines instead of a clear image of what is in the Viewfinder. Pictures taken while showing up this way on the LCD Monitor turn out with the same fuzzy stripes. Light lines show up in the well-lit areas of the scene and dark lines show up where the scene is dark. The problem was intermittent for months but now cannot be corrected by powering off. Thanks, Steve

Canon SD1000 Two days ago, my son had a gig at his high school. I recorded it with the Canon Powershot and everything was fine after that. The video would play on the camera and everything. As soon as I got home that night, I tried to put the file onto my computer. I assume that the file was very large because they were playing a 10 minute song. Anyways, I tried to load the large file onto my computer and I saw that it was in My Documents, so I clicked on it. It showed up as a 0byte file with ab

This definitely sounds like it's a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your cameras warranty status. Please check the following two links for more info:\0 ...

Had the same problem with my SD10. The switch in the AV port sometimes gets dirty or corroded, and tricks the camera into thinking that an AV plug is inserted. This will turn off the screen. \015\012\015\012To fix it, repeatedly insert ...

Blank lcd I just got a new canon 600D. After playing with it for a while, i turned it off. Then after 5-10 mins i turned it on once again, and opened the lcd screen, but it shows blank(or say black). I can see that the lcd backlit is workeing, but nothing (no content) is displayed. Can this be an issue of low battery ? pressing the shutter button full also not capturing the picture. Flash works though, and optical view finder too, but it does not capture the photo.

Canon power shot S230 elph. I have two of them and they both use to get purple, magenta lines showing up in LCD display. I just happen to power them on again and one seems to be working but the other will view prior pictures fine in the LCD but when trying to take a new picture it very dark in LCD and picture is dark almost black when viewing. Flash is going off when taking a picture.rn Thank you, Cindy

Canon SD1100 -- used in very humid conditions (Cambodia at the end of rainy season) and the lcd gradually fogged over and now is not clearing. Have tried drying the camera but lcd is still foggy. Everything else works, but it's hard to use without the lcd. Any advice?

I would remove the battery immediatly as not to short circuit the very fragile circuits inside! Going from cold to warm, or warm to cold area's will cause a layer of humidity to built up on the tiny components inside, if the camera is not completely ...

Lcd blurred I have a canon power shot a80 and when i turn it on and try to take a picture, on the LCD display i see a mixture of colour which is not even letting me see the image of the picture i would like to take. If i look through the lens and take the image, i am still able to view the picture I had taken if i set the camera on the view pictures. The mixture of colours on the LCD only shows when the camera is set on take the picture... and it doesn't even do it always. Thanks.

LCD Display I haven't used my canon for a while - I've just turned it on and though the LCD display works to show pictures I've taken and the settings screen - I can't see anything in it when I take a picture (it's just black) when I press the Disp button it just switches from a black screen to the settings screen - please tell me what I can do so that I can see the image in the LCD before I take the picure. Thanks for your help

The camera requires partially dismantling in order to fix this. if you cannot do it yourself then you will have to take it somewhere but be warned it wont be very cheap. If you live in new zealand i could do it for you however unlikely that is. ...

Lcd panel I've just bought a new canon eos 350d and the lcd panel will not show the image of what I am taking a picture of. I can take a picture, and display it back on the lcd panel but just not display what is in the viewfinder when I want to take a photo. Have I got a setting wrong somewhere or is the camera faulty?
thank you!

My LCD goes partially black when I turn the camera on and shows a diagonal display of the photo from the upper left hand to lower right hand corners. The amount not black is not sufficient to take photos. I can make the LCD give a full display if I "jiggle" the photo settings devise from view to photo. I have tried this about thirty times and it always restores the LCD. I asked Canon Service Tech Support if the problem merited repair. Of course they said yes, but the flat rate they charge
